Easily assimilated because of the rhyming Becky, and makes a whole lot of sense. The point can often seem overpolished when the lines are so easy on the mind I feel, perhaps this awful tragedy of when to and when to we all feel at times (rhyme that is).

Highly effective in any case.

I'd really like to write successful free poetry, with no rhymes. I'm seeking to try different textures and styles but I seem to be incapable of avoiding rhyming thus far. Maybe I need to take lessons or something. I agree that rhymes can so easily be forced and crass.

i think rhyme, when done properly, is as important a part of poetry as any. but too many people force rhymes and i guess its just left me a bit cold to it. proper rhythm and rhyme is beautiful though. i rhymed the last two lines of my latest and shuddered a little when it came out!

just personal preference i guess. you can tell your pieces work well live, as they force you to canter through the lines in your mind.

Thanks Stu! I wish I could resist rhyming - that would be a really challenge. I just can't seem to escape.
